Oklahoma is best known to many Americans as the setting for the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical of the same name.  But modern-day residents of The Sooner State enjoy hundreds of man-made lakes (more than any other state), a laid-back lifestyle, a temperate climate, and a low cost of living. So, chances are, if your next employee is an Oklahoman, they won’t want to leave. Fortunately, in this era of remote work, collaborating across state lines is easy.Bringing on a new employee can be exciting, but there’s often a lot to do as well. You want to onboard your new hire as quickly and smoothly as possible to ensure their success at your organization. But before you get started with onboarding, you’ll need to register your company with the state of Oklahoma.

Register your business in Oklahoma in two easy steps:

  1. First, you’ll need to register with the Oklahoma Tax Commission via the Oklahoma Taxpayer Access Point.
  2. Next, you’ll need to register with the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission.
You should receive your Account ID from the Oklahoma Tax Commission within five days of registering. You’ll receive your Account Number from the Employment Security Commission within three weeks of registering online.Once you’ve received your account numbers, you’ll be able to register new employees, file wage reports, and submit unemployment taxes online.
